Are There Daycares With Weekend Hours

We’re supported by moms. When you buy through links on our site, As an Amazon Associate, I may earn a commission.

If you are a busy parent, you’re likely rushing around constantly trying to coordinate a million things, and childcare is likely at the top of your list.

If you have working hours that differ from the typical nine to five or are a single parent, you might be wondering if there are daycares with weekend hours and whether they open on Saturdays and during the evenings. 

If you’re one of these parents, we have all the information for you on childcare provisions for weekends and evenings. 

The really quick answer to this question is that weekend daycare services are not the norm and if you do happen to find one that does offer this service be prepared that you will be paying a premium charge.

Those parents that do require childcare at weekends and evenings usually opt for a babysitter or friends and family for help.

Table of Contents

• 1 Weekend Childcare Services
• 2 Childcare Options For Evenings And Weekends
  • 2.1 Daycare
  • 2.2 Nanny Or Babysitter
  • 2.3 Child Care Shares
  • 2.4 Family And Friends
• 3 The Final Thought

Weekend Childcare Services

There are very few traditional daycare centers that will be open on the weekend. Daycare centers that do offer more flexible hours will likely tack on a hefty fee to your bill to account for these anti-social hours.

So parents in need of evening or weekend childcare usually opt for different, more flexible provisions.

If you are one of these parents, you may prefer to opt for a service such as a babysitter, or a nanny, who will likely be more flexible and will have a bit more availability for ad-hoc care than traditional daycare.

You might even opt to ask a friend or family member to watch your little one if your evening or weekend shifts are infrequent. 

Childcare Options For Evenings And Weekends

Many parents will find themselves transitioning to part-time, working from home, or even taking a career break due to difficulties in finding childcare.

It is difficult trying to find the perfect daycare setting for traditional hours, but your choice is even more limited when it comes to finding childcare providers for these more anti-social hours, so you might have even more difficulty in finding the perfect fit for you and your little one.

Here are some options for you if you find yourself in need of childcare during evenings and weekends. 

Daycare

If you are lucky enough to have a daycare in your area that has evening and weekend hours, you may think you have found the perfect childcare provision.

However, you’ll likely find that the cost for evenings and weekends is significantly higher than during standard opening hours- even as much as $20 an hour.

This may not be in your budget, especially if you’re needing this type of care regularly, so here are a few other options for you.

Nanny Or Babysitter

If you are in need of evening or weekend childcare, you may find that a nanny or a babysitter is a more affordable and flexible option for you than traditional daycare.

If you’re in need of consistent evening or weekend care, then a nanny is a great option. While they may cost a similar amount to traditional daycare, they will be much more flexible and will work with you to fit around your busy schedule.

They will also have the ability to spend much more one-on-one time with your little one or little ones, which is great for aiding their development. 

A babysitter is a great option if your schedule is not so permanently busy. If you only need to work one weekend a month, or only one or two evenings a week, then a babysitter is great for providing care as and when you need it.

You might even be able to hire a neighbor or a younger family member who has some experience but is just needing a bit of extra cash, and they’ll probably be much cheaper than a nanny or a daycare.  

Child Care Shares

Child care sharing is a newly popular option for struggling parents. This involves parents working together to take turns watching a group of children.

You might share childcare with some parents in your local area, such as watching a neighbor’s kids after school while she is at work, or having your friend’s children for a sleepover if she’s working a late shift.

They might then repay you by dropping your little ones off at school, or having them for an afternoon playdate while you’re busy at work. 

Childcare co-ops are also a newly popular option for childcare, and it works in a similar way as child care sharing. The only difference is the co-op works like a daycare, however, parents are the ones who take turns looking after the children based on a schedule.

Family And Friends

It’s no secret that your friends and family love spending time with your little one, and so they may be a great childcare option if you are stuck for childcare.

If your schedule only involves a few weekends and evenings a month, then you might easily be able to ask a few family members or friends to have your little one for a few hours.

You might consider asking a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or cousin to watch your little one for a few hours, and this might work even better if they have their own little ones. 

And if your friends or your little one’s godparents are complaining that they don’t get to see your little one as much as they’d like, consider asking them if they would like the chance to babysit your little one a few times a month for you.

This is the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone – your childcare needs are sorted, and your little one is getting the chance to spend quality time with some of the most important people in their life.

And as a bonus, friends and family members are unlikely to ask you to pay as much money as a traditional childcare provider, if they even ask at all!

The Final Thought

The truth is, finding childcare during evenings and weekends is going to be difficult, especially as most daycares don’t provide this type of care in their standard hours.

You might have better luck hiring a nanny, who will be more flexible and have more time to dedicate to your little one. And if this isn’t an option, a babysitter is great for ad-hoc care and is usually a cheaper option.

And you could always ask a friend or family member if they would mind watching your little one for a few hours if you’re really in a pinch!

Are Daycares Open on Weekends? (Saturday/Sunday Childcare Explained)

For working parents, daycare is a lifesaver.

Not only that, it’s a great environment for kids to learn and grow, both sociall and emotionally.

But what if you need childcare outside of traditional working hours?

Are daycares open on the weekends? And how can you find weekend childcare when needed?

Most big name, reputable daycares are not open on the weekends. You may be able to find local options that are open Saturday and Sunday but they are rare.

You can try a chain like KidsPark or hire a babysitter for intermmitent, supplemental weekend care. Or if you need regular weekend coverage, consider hiring a nanny or even trying an au pair!

Let’s take a closer look!

Are Most Daycares Open on Saturday and Sunday?

No, most daycares are not open on Saturday and Sunday. Traditional daycare is usually only open Monday-Friday.

Daycare hours are generally from 6am to 6pm or so, but these do vary per facility. Some centers open their doors as early as 5am. Others may stay open until 7pm or later.

There are exceptions to traditional daycare hours.

Daycare centers like KidsPark are known for staying open late, and offering hours on weekends — but KidsPark is not a traditional daycare. It’s used more often for supplemental or one-off childcare.

Childcare facilities that are open on weekends and offer late hours do exist, but they are not always conveniently located.

Most of the big names like Primrose or Kids R Kids don’t offer this, but smaller, local providers might.

To find daycares that are open on the weekend, you’ll need to scour your local area thoroughly.

How to Find Childcare on the Weekends

It’s common for parents to find themselves using a daycare that offers traditional childcare during the week.

That doesn’t help you if you need childcare on the weekends!

Not everyone works Monday through Friday. And even if you do, you may have an all-day event on a Saturday you need to attend, or any number of reasons for needing weekend childcare coverage.

So, what do you do?

Thankfully, you have other options. These tips will help you find someone to take care of your babies outside of typical daycare hours.

Use Your Support System

Parents that are lucky enough to have a sturdy support system should use it.

Ask your own parents or friends if they can help with childcare.

Most people will not want to commit to watching a child every weekend. Instead, see if you can rotate among friends and family so no one gets burnt out.

Hopefully, they won’t mind committing to watching your little ones for a few hours every other Saturday to help you out!

At Home Daycare Providers

If you need regular weekend childcare, look into home daycares.

Home-based or in-home daycares are where a childcare expert looks after a handful of children in their own home.

Not only is this more affordable than a daycare center, but the hours are often more flexible.

A quick Google should help you find some options, but you may need to dig deeper and ask around with some parents in your network to find good home daycares.

When looking for an at home daycare provider, ask them if they accept Title 20.

Title 20 providers are required to follow state guidelines just as professional daycare centers are.

Babysitters

Websites like Care.com offer a wealth of options for babysitters who may be available to help on Saturdays and Sundays.

This option can get expensive for a full day, but is fairly cost effective if you just need a few hours here or there.

Most babysitters can provide references so that you feel safe with them watching your child.

Asking friends and family members for recommendations is another great idea.

Friends and family can tell you a lot about a babysitter, and you can trust that they are more authentic than references provided by the potential babysitter.

Nannies

Nannies are more involved in the day to day care of your child than a babysitter or daycare.

For example, a nanny may work more with your children on education, structured play, and other forms of enrichment.

You can find both full-time and part time nannies. These professional caregivers prefer to have a consistent schedule.

They need to know when they are watching children, what they are required to do, and are not a good option if you need an on-call babysitter.

Nannies generally cost more than babysitters but you often get a higher standard of care for your money.

Participate in an Au Pair Program

This may be a little out of the box, but hear us out!

When you participate in an au pair program, an exchange student will come to live with you. They will agree to be the caregiver or nanny for your child during certain days or hours of the week.

Typically, these hours are limited. For example, you may only have 45 hours of care.

An au pair may participate in other household duties. For example, they can pitch in on housework or drive children to school.

Of course, all this work isn’t free — you’ll be expected to pay your au pair.

The cost is typically lower than what you would pay for a childcare facility, however.

Most families that host an au pair also enjoy spending time with their new guests. This is an opportunity for both the au pair and the host family to learn a great deal about a new culture.

Use Facilities That Offer Childcare

If you just need a short break from parenting on the weekends, try to find some interesting places that offer short-term childcare.

For example, you could go to a gym that has a childcare center and get in a workout — or just soak in the hot tub to relax!

When I was a kid, I’d play in the ballpit at IKEA while my mom shopped — though most of these are closed, now.

Think outside of the box if you just need a little breather!

Wrapping Up

Most daycares are not open on weekends, though if you search your area thoroughly, you may be able to find one. An in-home daycare is probably your safest best for flexible hours.

If you work on weekends and need consistent coverage, you’ll probably need to hire a nanny or an au pair if you can’t find a weekend daycare.

However, for more intermittent weekend help, there are tons of options from grandparents, to babysitters, to even the childcare center at the gym!

Don’t fret. You’re not the only one who needs help on the weekends, you may just have to experiment with different options until you find the right fit and schedule.

86. verification of payments should be guided by Article 262 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Provision of additional paid days off to parents (guardians, trustees) is carried out in accordance with the Decree of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation and the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation of 15.04.2002 N 26/40 “On Amendments to the Explanation of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation and the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation dated 04.04.2000 N 3 / 02-18 / 05-2256 “On the procedure for providing and paying additional days off per month to one of the working parents (guardian, trustee) to care for disabled children”, approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation and the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation of 04. 04.2000 N 26/34 “<1>, in accordance with which, if one of the parents of the child is in an employment relationship with the employer, and the other in such is not in a relationship or is self-employed, four additional paid days off per month for the care of disabled children and those disabled from childhood until they reach the age of 18 are provided to a parent who is in an employment relationship with an employer.

——————————–

<1> Registered in the Ministry of Justice of Russia on 24.04.2002, N 3404.

If there is more than one disabled child in the family, the number of additional paid days off provided per month does not increase.

Consultant Plus: note.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 11.04.2003 N 213 became invalid due to the publication of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 24.12.2007 N 922, which approved the new Regulations on the peculiarities of the procedure for calculating the average wage.

When calculating average earnings to pay for additional days off provided to care for children with disabilities and people with disabilities from childhood until they reach the age of 18 in accordance with Article 262 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, one should be guided by the Regulation approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 11.04 .2003 N 213 as amended by the decisions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of November 18, 2003 N GKPI 03-1049, of July 13, 2006 N GKPI 06-637.

At the same time, in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Regulation, the calculation of the average earnings of an employee, regardless of the mode of his work for the payment of the specified days, is based on the wages actually accrued to him and the time he actually worked for the 12 months preceding the moment of payment.

87. It is necessary to establish the correctness of the assignment and payment of benefits during the verification.

The insured’s accounting department must keep for each beneficiary:

a) an application for additional days off to care for a disabled child;

b) a certificate from the social protection authorities on the child’s disability indicating that the child is not on state care (in a boarding school or other similar institution), submitted annually;

c) a copy of the order to provide additional days off for caring for a disabled child;

d) certificate from the other parent’s place of work that, at the time of the application, they did not use additionally paid days off in the same calendar month;

e) if one parent is employed, the fact that the other parent does not have a job must be documented (certificate from the state employment service, etc.).

In case of documentary evidence of divorce between the parents of a disabled child, as well as death, deprivation of parental rights of one of the parents and in other cases of lack of parental care (imprisonment, business trips for more than one calendar month of one of the parents, etc. ) a working parent raising a disabled child is granted four additional paid days off without presenting a certificate from the other parent’s place of work. In the same order, four additional paid days off are provided to single mothers.

f) if one parent is employed under an employment contract and the other parent is self-employed. This fact must be confirmed by the presence of the relevant document <1> (copy) submitted with each application for additional paid days off.

——————————–

<1> For example: certificate of state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur, civil law contract, etc.

88. Payment for each additional day off to a working parent (guardian, custodian) for caring for children with disabilities and people with disabilities from childhood until they reach the age of 18 is made from the funds of compulsory social insurance in the amount of the average daily wage.

In accordance with Article 139 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the specifics of the procedure for calculating the average wage are determined by the Government of the Russian Federation (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 11, 2003 N 213).

When an employee is assigned part-time work (part-time work week, part-time work day), the average daily earnings are calculated by dividing the amount of actually accrued wages by the number of working days according to the calendar of a 5-day (6-day) working week falling on the time worked during the billing period.

In the case of total accounting of working hours, the average earnings of an employee are determined by multiplying the average hourly earnings by the number of working hours in the period payable, based on the normal length of the working day established by law for this employee.

89. During the audit, the inspectors must establish the total number of additional days off provided for the care of disabled children and the compliance of the total amount of payments for the audited period with the accounting and reporting data indicated in the Fund’s payroll.
